Regular Liars
By that I mean people that lie on a very regular basis.
I am curious to know if you guys have any of these people in your lives, and what kinds of things will they lie about.
I have two a sister and MIL. It is so incredibly weird and even uncomfortable at times because the lies they tell are sometimes very obvious, make no sense or they actually get 'called out on'.
Example: MIL was telling us about her recent weight loss at Christmas time and said when she was at the Dr's she made the Dr have her use two other scales before she beleived him. FIL jumps in to say that he has only ever seen one scale at that Dr, and what is she talking about (he totally called her out it was pretty funny). She went on to say it was in a different exam room. FIL continues saying he has been there so much that he knows they aren't in the exam rooms, finally she tells us it was in a different part of the office that no one has ever seen.
My sister's lies tend to be more hurtful than MIL. I am getting really tired of them and am on the verge of cutting her out of our lives drastically. She is at the point that she seems to truly believe her own lies. It seems like a sickness.
Re: Regular Liars
Glad your FIL can call her out on that one! That's just stupid! How frustrating to always have someone lying.
That's very sad about your sister, especially with a new niece about to arrive for her, it would be sad for her to miss out on that. (Not at all saying you shouldn't cut her out but saying that she should get with it).
My SIL is a bit of a regular liar, and it's always dumb stuff and we know pretty much not to believe anything she says. I take it all with a grain of salt and try to avoid thinking about her or dealing with her.
Thanks!! It is sucky (nice adjective right?)
I meant this to be almost light hearted because they remind me of story 'toppers'. I use to work with someone that lied like this. He got caught once becaus the lie he told was actually from the movie Liar Liar, ironic huh? It was pretty funny.

Oh that is a great example.
Liars also like to quote 'they' a lot. Like 'they say you shouldn't do that". Ugh I will challenge my sister on that stuff sometimes.
Okay, that's too funny!
That story topper skit on Saturday Night Live (which I haven't seen since C was born) cracks me UP!
omg Whitney, that is so annoying! That would drive me up the wall, I'd be like, 'oh is her name Bhritney?" and Pooks your comment is so true!
Summer I looove that skit, we call her our sister. Heeehee
The guy I worked with was telling us about a friend of his who was sued when a burglar fell through a skylight and cut himself on a cutting board. Totally a scene from Liar Liar, we called him out on it in the middle of the story and he made up some crazy ending. Sooo dang funny.

This made me LOL!!!!
Omg, yes! I know a couple of people who exaggerate quite a bit. But the worst experience I've ever had was with a coworker would twist every.little.thing. to make herself sound better an me sound worse. Like if I said, "Let me look for such and such," she'd tell the story as "Em lost such and such".
